This whole time, I was guessing you’re from Russia but I wasn’t sure. But as soon as I heard Suka, I was sold! Just your average Pakistani who knows a little Russian! Spasiba for the helpful videos!
I worked at Waffle House in 1995. That’s how I was taught to clean the pots there. Lots of use. No soapy film to worry about. No bad flavors. No contamination. Works great. Use it on your hookah base, too.
Really should not clean any part of a hookah with products that are not safe to digest. If it is very dirty then dilute a cleaner a ton with water first. Safer options are lemon juice or baking soda or vinegar
